The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 51
Chapter 51: Pu Chan-shishu
After explaining all the details about the dimension, there was one thing that troubled You XiaoMo. That thing was related to the dimension. Just like what Ling Xiao had said, the blue teardrop was a an extremely valuable treasure. Even the Tian Xin Sect would be intrigued , so why was there not the slightest reaction from Ling Xiao ? Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he just kill him and snatch it? This type of thinking was a little unfair to himself , but You XiaoMo couldn’t help think ing this way.
But right up to the time they both left the dimension, Ling Xiao didn’t bring up the matter. This finally let him feel a little relieved.
There was still a lot things happening outside, so they couldn’t stay too long in the dimension. After Ling Xiao set the tornadoes free and cleared up all the weeds in the dimension, they both left the room. In order to not attract attention, You XiaoMo didn’t use the spiritual water to heal his injured leg.
Not long after they both left, a big group from the Tian Xin Sect arrived. They were disciples from the Warrior Division. The leader was a senior and his beard and hair were interspersed with black and white. It seemed as if he was not young but his eyes frequently emitted rays of light. This person was Lin Xiao’s senior, Pu Chan-shishu. He was also the Grand Master’s shidi. He was very shrewd , but he was also notoriously harsh.
It seemed Tang YunQi was quite fast at immediately notifying her father upon returning.
Tang Fan took this issue of demons very seriously. Furthermore it had appeared in He Ping town. When the Tian Xin Sect disciples applied for leave, most of the time it was to head down to He Ping town. So , in order to protect the safety of the disciples, this issue must be treated seriously. Hence, he immediately sent his own trusted subordinate.
Pu Chan was this trusted subordinate of Tang Fan. Putting aside his shrewdness and harsh nature, the reality was, he listened and followed Tang Fan’s words to the last letter.
This trip, bringing people down the mountain, Pu Chan operated in his usual style. He simply directed his people to surround He Ping town. Although the demon Luo Shan had escaped, it didn’t necessarily mean that his comrades were not still hiding in He Ping town. Only after doing this did Pu Chan head toward the rest house.
At this time, Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo had already left the dimension. Just as they were chatting about trivial matters, the room door was forcefully pushed open from outside.
It was the arrival of Pu Chan. He was always abrupt when dealing with the junior s, usually using a haughty manner. On top of that, he never held back when he spoke , so a lot of disciples didn’t like to deal with him, including the original Lin Xiao. He was also quite fed up with him but he would never reveal it , because Pu Chan was Tang Fan’s most trusted shidi.
“Lin Xiao, tell me in full detail how you discovered the demon.” Pu Chan was very strong, tough and stocky , with a beard that completely covered his face. Upon walking in, he completely blocked the door leaving no way for the people behind him to enter.
But he was really rude. In You XiaoMo’s memory, when people met Ling Xiao, they were always respectful and courteous. This was first time seeing someone so arrogantly ordering Ling Xiao. He stole a look at Ling Xiao. He seemed to be smiling too brilliantly …
Upon seeing that, You XiaoMo immediately lowered his head.
Ling Xiao didn’t reply immediately . He lift ed up the cup of tea that You XiaoMo had poured for him, taking a sip leisurely , as if enjoying the light breeze and cloudless skies. Somewhat like being unmoved by the impending collapse of Mt. Tai. Only after Pu Chan frowned and was about to explode did he open his mouth. “Pu-shishu, you should ask this Chen-shidi. He is clearer about this than I am .”
You XiaoMo couldn’t help grinning. Luckily his head was bowed down.
The thick black brows of Pu Chan drew tight. He obviously did not expect that the response he waited for would be these few words. If it wasn’t Lin Xiao in front of him, he would have had certainly flipped out. Too bad. Pu Chan snorted derisively before turning around to leave. As for the You XiaoMo seated next to Ling Xiao, from the beginning to end, he was completely ignored. Probably You XiaoMo himself didn’t realize, but this was the first time his low profile plan succeeded.
“Ling-shixiong, do you think the demons will stay in He Ping town?” After Pu Chan left, You XiaoMo opened his mouth and asked. He felt that Pu Chan didn’t have to take such drastic measures. Since demons and practitioners were natural enemies, after Luo Shan’s identity had been exposed, the other demons would definitely not stay behind. Even if they did, it didn’t mean they would be found out ; otherwise, Luo Shan’s identity would have been exposed long ago.
“Hmph, it was just posturing for others to see.” Ling Xiao said derisively.
You XiaoMo nodded his head and seemed to understand. In fact, after such a serious event, if the Tian Xin Sect didn’t conduct an investigation, it would probably have a negative effect on He Ping town. Upfront, He Ping town was not in the territory of the Tian Xin Sect. But in reality, the power behind He Ping town was the Tian Xin Sect. That was why the appearance of a demon must be investigated, if only as an act to reassure the people.
As Ling Xiao said, Pu Chan was only there to make some rounds. After finding out the details from Chen GaoYang, he sent people to chase after the demon Luo Shan. But they were doomed to return empty – handed.
As for Ling Xiao and company, since they had nothing to do with what happened next, and since they had bought what they came for, they simply took the winged – bird back to the Tian Xin Sect that very day.
Due to his leg injury, You XiaoMo didn’t head to the Hall of Magic Herbs to collect magic herbs in the next few days in order to keep up appearances. During that time, Fang ChenYue came to visit him, bringing with him Kong Wen’s words of concern.
